Post Distribution By Forum Graph
 

Inspired by this post by K-Wise, i thought it might be good to have a graph in your profile showing the distribution of your posts over the different forums e.g.

General Discussion (5)
==========
Programming (10)
====================
Nonsense (2)
====
Newbies (1)
==

LOL. i like the idea...

but to be constantly updating where ur posting might put a strain on the system (or sumthing... i dun know computers)

so we'll have to wait 2 c wat a mod says!!!

sounds interesting though.

Doubt it'll go through, since post counts are not a priority here.

Ishmal: Nothing new would have to be added to actually get the information into the database. The data is already there and all that would need to be done is slightly expand the query that is used to find out the number of posts for your profile and then print the data onto the output stream in the same format as poll results. Pretty simple really.

amonkie: Thanks for your opinion, i understand its another flambouyance rather than necessary bug fixing or functionality improvement but, well, that kind of development of tfp seems pretty much "finished" to me :)

See, I see that as lazy man way of gaining knowledge. If you spend enough time in ANY of the forums, you begin to get a very good grasp of who's really there to inspire discussion and who's there just blowing stuff out their ass. See the current setup as a challenge to explore more of the forums and discover for yourself who really posts where! The fun is one poster continuously catches your eye because you like what they have to say, and you can see whereelse they have posted on the board just by licking on the"View more posts" button. The internet can't be 100% workfree :)
